    Keep this show running!

    by Anonymous on 9/7/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    Catch Me if You Can is a fantastic, fun, an absolutely enjoyable show. Some of the best acting I've ever seen in a musical. The music is wonderful, with the flavor of the 60's and completely modern. Norbert Leo Butz is amazing, reminiscent of James Cagney, and Tom Wopat should have also won a TONY! Please keep it running!

    Closing Performance

    by BCK21 on 9/7/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    I've never seen a closing performance of a show before, but it was an absolutely amazing experience. The audience was amazing, and the cast, passionate and unforgettable. It really is a shame that this closed so soon!

    I did Catch one of the Best Broadway show...

    by Greg1469 on 9/7/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    Catch me if you can is very funny and a great show as well. I am a little bit sad because I only see it once and on their last performance at that. The actors are great and awesome. People should catch them on their tour next year.

    From the very beginning this show was exciting. It was funny and the dancing and singing were great. We really enjoyed it! It's unfortunate that it was cancelled in NY. I understand that the show will be touring soon. I hope that it will come back to NY after the tour!

    Caught Again by Catch Me If You Can!

    by BroadwayBrat on 9/6/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    I was raised in the arms of Broadway and without a doubt very spoiled so I can honestly say that like members of a family, I can be a very tough critic. I LOVED this show. I took my daughter when it opened and took my son whose passion for live theatre equals his mother's (such a good boy:). The tears slowly rolled down his 17 year old cheeks as we made our way home to our war-torn town in the Catskills. Why? Because he did not want it to end. Aaron Tviet is truly amazing and I believe his magic brings out the best in all the cast including Mr. Butz. Dazzling dancing, songs that soar and a story that catches the heart. Fly back soon-goodbye does not have to be forever!

    The title was unforgetable

    by Linertom on 9/6/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    It was by far the best play I have seen in years. The singing the dancing and the comedy were tremendous. I can not see why this show closed. anyone who did not see this missed a Broadway phenomenon.

    Too good to close!

    by theatredivanj on 9/6/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    My husband and I left the last performance of "Catch Me" yesterday wondering why this fabulous musical was closing. Norbert Leo Butz, Aaron Tveit , Tom Wopat,and Kerry Butler were amazing, with the former 2 actors giving standout performances. Music by Marc Shaiman was creative, combining jazz riffs as well as 60s era numbers that showcased the amazing talent of all involved with this musical. We loved every minute of this show!

    Absolutely phenomenal - best show I've seen in 5 years! All the makings of a Broadway smash - a real travesty and injustice it closed so early.

    Excellent !!! Why did it close!!!!!! According to playbill the grosses were in excess of 675'000 dollars a week. I guess it cost more to rum.

    Incredible night on Broadway!

    by CrJd2 on 9/6/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    The final performance of Catch Me If You Can's Broadway run was unforgettable! I'd seen the show multiple times before and all were fantastic but this night was special! I will definitely be catching the show when it tours in 2012!

    Catch Me If You Can was Amazing!

    by JTbeatsNYC on 9/6/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    The way the play was written was great, and the actors were excellent with amazing voices. Great length, and kept us thoroughly entertained throughout. Much better than both the book and movie

    by jackthomas33 on 9/5/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    It's too bad this show has now closed on Broadway. What an amazing production it was! Rest assured that all of the performers from this show will definitely be seen in future Broadway musicals! They were all PHENOMENAL!!

    Closed far too soon.

    by BriBriBriawesome on 9/5/11Neil Simon Theatre - New York

    Usually I would go into crazy detail about every musical number and break it down scene by scene, but I can't do that. This show was incredible. I walked into the theatre with a family who didn't particularly want to see it and walked out with people who wanted to see it over and over again. Sadly, the show closed last night. I don't think that it deserved to close at all, but that is the life of a Broadway musical. The show was incredible. Everybody was so talented and Norbert Leo Butz absolutely deserved that Tony award. His performance was fantastic and as a long-time fan of his, it was amazing to see him live. As always, Aaron Tveit delivered a breath-taking portrayal of Frank W. Abagnale Jr. and Kerry Butler was amazing as Brenda Strong. The chorus girls were all hysterical! They went all out and there was not a person on that stage who was not committed and having a fabulous time! Well done- I'll miss you, Catch Me If You Can!
